Rear Differential Oil

Going to put a new gasket on my rear diff on my 71 C10 307 V8 Automatic. Leaking pretty bad and I don't know the history so I figured I'd fresh'n it up. What are the specs on the gear oil, 75W-90, ... etc? Non synthetic I assume.

Service manual says GL5, not sure what that translates to in a 75w, 80w, .... Also, how many quarts? Any special additives?

Example: Ok to use this?

Thanks in advance!
